Urinalysis and Body Fluids, Sixth Edition

Here's a concise, comprehensive, and carefully structured
introduction to the analysis of non-blood body fluids. Through six editions, the
authors, noted educators and clinicians, have taught generations of students the
theoretical and practical knowledge every clinical laboratory scientist needs to
handle and analyze non-blood body fluids, and to keep themselves and their
laboratories safe from infectious agents. Their practical, focused, and reader
friendly approach first presents the foundational concepts of renal function and
urinalysis. Then, step by step, they focus on the examination of urine,
cerebrospinal fluid, semen, synovial fluid, serous fluid, amniotic fluid, feces,
and vaginal secretions. The Sixth Edition has been completely updated to include
all of the new information and new testing procedures that are important in this
rapidly changing field. Case studies, clinical situations, learning objectives,
key terms, summary boxes, and study questions show how work in the classroom
translates to work in the lab. Redeem the Plus Code inside new, printed texts to
